Date: 2024-04-02

RenaultUmhlanga and the Renault Clio are both champions in their own right, havingboth won awards for outstanding quality and performance.

The Clio however has a string of awardsincluding the 2012 Golden Steering Wheel Award, Germany - "Small Cars"category, the "Best Production" Car at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, a EuropeanCar of The Year Finalist 2013, placed in the top 3 of the "Most Beautiful Carof 2012" Awards and was a 2013 World Design Car of The Year Finalist. And weare just getting started.

Test driving the Renault Clio wasthrilling, the spirited performance is what got me going right off the bat.From the first glimpse of some open road, I couldn't resist the opportunity tofeel the smooth acceleration of the 1.0 litre TCe 100 Petrol Engine. TheRenault Clio gives such positive compact feedback, from the firm andcomfortable seats to the tight feeling of control over the steering, brakingand acceleration.

Safety has always been a huge concern withRenault and they continuously improve their offering, making the Clio V veryadvanced in the safety department. BesidesDriver Assist programs like Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Renault have equippedthe Clio with much much more. Here's a list; "Renault LED Pure VisionHeadlights, Parking Sensors (Front* & Rear), Electronic Stability Control(ESC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD),combined with Emergency Brake Assist (EBA). The reinforced structure of theseating and high efficiency front airbags, side airbags, pressure sensor todetect impact, seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters in the front andrear side seats, seat belt reminder warning with detection, whiplash headrestsand ISOFIX seat anchors."

The Renault Clio comes standard with a fiveyear/150 000km warranty and a six year anti-corrosion warranty. A standard2-year/30 000km service plan is also included.

However, it is the people selling this carthat will make that extra difference. With Renault Umhlanga's New Car SalesManager, Elreda Carver, has an enigmatic style and customer-centric approach toher position. It's infectious and the happy professional sales team aremotivated to give you the best possible experience in test driving, buildingand purchasing the Renault of your dreams.
